Deliver high-quality medical care to your doorstep

2026-03-25   

The outline of the 15th Five Year Plan clearly proposes to implement a strong foundation project for medical and health care. In September last year, the State Council approved the Implementation Plan for the Strong Medical and Health Foundation Project, which made a systematic deployment to strive for residents to reach the nearest medical service point within 15 minutes by 2027; By 2030, the public will have access to high-quality and efficient health services nearby. Two time points outline a clear roadmap for primary healthcare from 'existing' to 'excellent'. To promote the construction of a healthy China, the foundation lies at the grassroots level, and the shortcomings also lie at the grassroots level. The weak talent team, insufficient equipment, inadequate functional positioning, and uneven development are directly reflected in the large number of patients flocking to tertiary hospitals, exacerbating the imbalance between supply and demand of medical resources and increasing the financial burden on the public. The implementation of the healthcare infrastructure project aims to solve this dilemma. By reshaping the "hard facilities" and "soft power" of primary healthcare, we aim to continuously improve the convenience for the public to solve common and frequently occurring diseases at their doorstep, ultimately achieving the goal of "major illnesses not leaving the province, general illnesses solved in cities and counties, and daily illnesses solved at the grassroots level". This is a systematic transformation from 'patients surging upwards' to' resources sinking downwards'. Only by clenching your fingers into a fist can you break through the game. During the 15th Five Year Plan period, China will plan to build around 1000 closely knit county-level medical communities. Heilongjiang Province has coordinated the construction of 95 hospitals, achieving full coverage of counties. Through the "seven unifications" management of personnel, finance, and materials, the four core systems of three-level guarantee, two-way referral, central pharmacy, and remote medical care have been implemented and taken root. This mechanism reshaping allows the leading role of county-level hospitals, the pivotal role of township health centers, and the bottom-up role of village clinics to be fully utilized. A sound mechanism will ultimately fall into the consultation room at the doorstep of the masses. In Jindong District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, township health centers are becoming the trusted "first consultation place" for the masses. 61 experts from central hospitals visit 14 health centers every week, and "having experts every day" has become the norm; All government run village clinics are connected to the "ECG One Network", where villagers' electrocardiograms can be uploaded in real-time to the district and city diagnostic centers, achieving "village inspection, city diagnosis"; In response to the busy farming season, 15 village clinics have launched "village level traditional Chinese medicine night clinics", serving more than 9800 people in total; 266 family doctors have followed up with nearly 400000 people this year. Hardware can be rapidly improved through investment, but talent requires time to accumulate. At present, China has trained nearly 100000 targeted medical students for townships, and in recent years, more than 10000 college students working in village clinics have been appointed as township health centers. The foundation of grassroots services is deepening, effectively resolving the dilemma of "having equipment but no one to use it". From "15 minute reach" to "nearby access to high-quality and efficient", primary healthcare is advancing from "having" to "excellence". The healthcare infrastructure project aims to strengthen the foundation of health and warm the hearts of the people. When 'minor illnesses do not leave the village, major illnesses do not leave the county' becomes a daily routine, the foundation of a healthy China will surely become more stable. (New Society)
